ALO WALA

"classics" LA RAZA

During this photo session I almost got shot down by four eager cousins at an auto shop in East LA, carrying nothing but my Hasselblad around my neck. Later I got harassed by LAPD and nearly arrested for mistaken identity in Long Beach thinking the camera flash and car backfiring was a gun battle on the beach. I ended the night driving a beautiful Ford Galaxy 70’s back to East Paramount, sitting on top of two stacked telephone books cause that shit was dropped so low, after the car’s unfortunate owner, got arrested for possession and weapons. ..Sometimes authentic and real deal can reach a boiling point and I am grateful that the elements came together and we all came out alive. The pictures speak. .
